When I first started learning about cake decorating, I found that I couldn’t get everything I needed to get started, all in one place.

Sometimes things were just over-complicated or beyond my level.

Sometimes they just weren’t practical.

I wanted logical, realistic tips plus a step-by-step guide that I could use at my beginner level.

If you’re like me, you like systems and I wanted a system that would work every time, so I could streamline my cake decorating and keep it fun. Because that’s what you want it to be…fun…not stressful.

Do you want to put an end to aggravation and frustration when all you want to do is create something special for a loved one’s birthday party?

I know it’s aggravating to spend so much time on a cake, only to have it turn out completely different than you intended or spending money on tons of cake decorating supplies that you really don’t need in order to make a beautiful cake.

Icing ridges around your cake.
Leaning cakes.
Buttercream you can’t get smooth.

I’m Kara Jane, the blogger behind I Scream for Buttercream. I’m a true Texan with a sure ’nuff Texas accent and I love ALL things cake related.

I’m into realistic cake design that uses your own creativity to make unique cakes for your family, friends or for cake business clients.

I specialize in more of a realistic cake design…designs that aren’t crazy, or too over the top, but enough of a challenge to keep me learning. When I was taking orders, customers were just not that interested in paying for those super-mega-cakes with over-complicated cake bases that needed to be built. While those cakes ARE super cool, I’ve found most people just want something less expensive, but still created and customized just for them.

I also feel like most cake decorators and those who want to start out in cake decorating, really would just like to make beautiful, memorable cakes for their friends, family or customers and not have to stay up for multiple days and nights to get it done. And yes, that CAN be done. You don’t have to be a professional to make awesome cakes!

My objective is to teach cake decorating with a more realistic approach. I’ve figured out what actually works in the real world and what is actually do-able. I teach realistic cake decorating with techniques, systems and organizational tips that have worked for me.

I’ve been obsessed with cake since I was a kid and my love for it grows every day. Learn more about me.
